problem #3

Mar 162016

Caliber RT 2.4L

  • CVT transmission
  • 127,500 miles

Had a problem with the transmission locking up in park and could not shift into gear. I finally noticed a round cut out in the transmission console on the passengers side. I removed it and was able to feel a plastic piece and moved it with my finger and the car went right into gear. Only has reoccurred once since then and I performed the same procedure and have not had a problem since.

Caliber

  • CVT transmission
  • 56,000 miles

Got gas and got back in my car and it would not shift out of park. Sensory from brake to shifter "broke". Stayed blocking a gas pump for 2 hours waiting for ex warranty tow to come and get me. All the while getting yelled at by the clerk telling me she is going to have my car towed away. Had to get a tow and pay out of pocket $150 to get it to the dealership. Ex warranty wouldn't reimburse me because I did not wait long enough.

I HATE this car!!!

Caliber ES 1.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 82,000 miles

I drove the car to a restrauant and when I was about to leave the car would not shift into gear, I had to leave the car there. I cannot figure out why the car shifter locked, it is an automatic transmission. This is so terrible and not I cannot trust the car to take me from one location to another without doing the same thing again
